Using macbook pro to do surveys ?

Hi guys my first post :D, Just wanted to ask i'm considering a new laptop and had my eye on macbook. Apart from the price they seem perfect but as i'm checking everything just wanted to ask I regulary do survey on various site such as valued opinion and global test market etc. and will i still be able to do them on a mac as, iv done a few survey which require you to download something,?

So for any current members on here that have macbooks pro and do survey do they have any problems ?

    i use mine for valued opinions, mysurvey etc and have had no problems, although i have never had to download anything i dont think - have had videos, radio ads etc and they were fine. It isnt possible to do the GFK internet monitor, shop & scan or any of those with software downloads etc on the mac side but i have a program to run windows too for anything like that :)

    I have a Macbook Pro and have never had a problem with online surveys. Very occasionally I will not be able to take a survey because the software isn't compatible (usually those ones where they want you to download software to monitor your internet usage) but that is it.

    ...and if you find any issue with the software not working on your shiny new Mac you can run Windows on it as well to make it 100% compatible.

    Google VMWare Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox for more info.
